1 Chronicles 15
Do God’s work biblically (1–15). David turned the work over to the Levites, and 870 of them united to bring the ark to Jerusalem. They had no problems because they did it God’s way.
Do God’s work joyfully (16–24). They served “the Lord with gladness” (
Do God’s work sacrificially (25–26). If they are to be acceptable to the Lord, our worship and service must come from the altar where a price has been paid. Cheap ministry is powerless ministry that cannot bless people or glorify the Lord.
Do God’s work fervently (27–29). It was an enthusiastic procession with the Levites singing and playing instruments, the people shouting, and David leading them in praising the Lord. There are times when you should be silent before the Lord, but there are times when He wants to hear your praise. Vance Havner noted, “Too many church services start at eleven o’clock sharp and end at twelve o’clock dull.”
